To establish a justiciable controversy, defendant must show a direct and imminent injury which results from the alleged unconstitutional provision. * * * “[ijssues which have no existence other than in the realm of future possibility are purely hypothetical and are not justiciable. Neither the ripe nor the ripening seeds of controversy are present.””
